Tapinella panuoides, also known as oyster rollrim[1] and as fan pax[2] from its former binomial Paxillus panuoides, is a species of fungus in the genus Tapinella.
Description
The mushroom has little or no stalk where it emerges from the substrate, with caps up to 10 centimetres (4 in) across.[2] The gills appear to be crimped, forked, or crosshatched close to the base.[2] The spore print is ochre.[2]

Similar species
In North America it can be confused with poisonous western jack o'lanterns, edible chanterelle mushrooms, false chanterelles (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca), Crepidotus, or Phyllotopsis.[2]
Habitat
It grows on conifer wood and in lignin-rich humus.[2]
Toxicity
Despite its pleasant taste, the species is poisonous.[3]
Potential uses
Atromentin is a phenolic compound. The first enzymes in its biosynthesis have been characterised in T. panuoides.[4]
